My electrolux powerplus 1700w power switch does not work. Can i get a new one? How do i fit it?

I have a new (couple of months) Cuisinart Espresso Maker EM-100C. One has to turn on the power button on the front in order for the unit to heat the water. The button will only work if the two manual knobs are in a certain position. Very occasionally, it took a few tries to get the button to turn on. Now it usually does not work but will once in a while. Any ideas what we could do to repair this problem?

Last year my wife and I bought a new Dirt Devil Reaction All Surface vaccuum cleaner to replace the older Platinum Force. After using it a couple of times the new one gets clogged with dog hair easily and shuts down. I cleaned it out completely including the hepa filter but it will not handle the dog hair. The old one never had a problem and still works. We went back to using the old vaccuum cleaner because we can not find the receipt and had not registered the new one and are stuck with a new 1

I have a Howard Miller Westminster Chime Mantle Clock. It has always worked fine. It stopped working and my husband took the battery out to change it and when the new battery is in it will not work. It is Model 613-=103 movt 354201J dial 272142J. The part you put the battery in almost looks too big for one double A but I can't see how two would fit. I am afraid the battery is just not in right. Can you help me with how many batteries go in this clock or if it is one what the problem could be.

Confusion and embarrasement have caused me to appeal for expert advice. I need to add a second flourescent light fitting in the loft. I recently added one from the existing wiring circuit via junction box and pull chord switch and it works fine. I have wired in the second light and now neither of them work. I have replaced the starter (as I had a faulty one in the first light. But i annot get them to work. I have installed a second junction box for the second light and wired all like terminals

This is not an electrolux problem, but I am hoping one of the experts can answer the question. I have a Sears air compressor that suddenly stopped working. After looking at how the motor case is put together, it appeared that it would essentially have to be destroyed to get it apart and into the motor. I received a new compressor for my birthday so I decided to tear into the old one to do some diagnosis. After getting into the case where I could see the motor/pump, I have discovered the prob

No Suction My two year old Kenmore Progressive stopped working in January. The guy at the Sears service center convinced me that buying a new one would be cheaper than getting it fixed. So I bought the exact same model and now this one has given out in the exact same way! I'm so confused. When I press on, it lights up and makes the whirring noise. Everything seems to be working but there is no suction anywhere. Not in the main part or the hose and there's no "cyclone effect" in the chamber. All

Try looking within the vacuum to see where the suction is getting stuck at. You may have to do some disasselbmeing but this is a manufacturers problem. You should also try to speak to the manager at the support and make a big dispute until you get yo ...

My samsung quiet storm modl 9068G needs a new brush in the power head. Where can I get one?

I have a Dirt Devil rechargable stick vac that has lost power. Does it need a new battery and if so, where can I get one and how much is it?

I have one central vacuum location that does not receive power. All other locations work. I do get suction but just no power. What should I do first to test power to location.

You need to use a circiut tester (electrician test probe) on the two terminals the hose plugs in to to see if power is present to connect to. The receptacle likely has damage to the power connection from arcing from the hose previously not fully plu ...

Remove the face plate from the wall and test the low voltage wiring behind. Before undoing the screws where the wiring connects, reach inside the inlet and feel the two brass pin connections. There should be spring tension behind each. Underneath the ...

Lost Suction This is my second hoover steamvac and i am having the same problem with my new one as i did with the old one that i tossed out. I have used it about 12 times and it worked great the first 6 times... Now i'll empty a full tank of water and only half will get sucked back up. I have tried taking it apart and cleaning and also the rubber seal had some gaps so i sealed those thinking that it was leaking air from there...can anyone help? I am so close to chucking this one and buying somet

Usually when there is no suction, one cause is the lid to the recovery tank is not on all of the way in the back. Also if you have that foam filter on the underneath side of the recovery tank lid, it needs to have a 1/4 in or so gap from the top of ...

I have a Eureka Upright vacuum (4800 Series). When I try to start it by turning the switch on, it wont. For few days, I was able to get around this problem by repeatedly turning the switch on and off until it turned on but that does not work any more. Could it be something related to the switch it self or the power cable. My wife mentioned that one of my kids might have pulled the power cable too hard (at the back of the vacuum). Any help to solve this problem will be very much appreciated. Tha

I have a swivel sweeper, the original series, that is about one year old and is losing power. The battery has been replaced but it still seems weaker than it used to be. The brushes do not turn as quickly and the overall pick-up is not as strong as it was when it was new. Any suggestions on how to get the power back up to what it once was?

HiThank you for your queryI think what you will find is the base of the sweeper has 4 brushes, each of these brushes are run from a cog, if you can take the base apart you will find that it has been clogged up with hair and ot ...

Power nozzle suddenly stopped working (no power or vibrating). Can these be repaired or should I just buy a new one?

Hello. Check out your reset button located on the top of the power nozzle. It is either black or red. Turn the cleaner on, and while running, push in the reset. Voila! It should be working again. The reset is put in the vac to protect your power ...

My Ultralux 2000 vacuum power head does not work on my machine but does work on a different machine. What are the possilbe problems? I tried replacing the hose with a new one and that didn't help.

I was changing a light bulb with one of those metal extension rods that unscrew and screw back in the replacement bulbs. It evidently didn't seat correctly and pulled off the bulb and created a quick "poof" type electrical short. I have switched out that bad bulb with a new one and can't get either the fan or lights to work. There doesn't appear to be a reset switch. I also swirched out the wall switch to see if that would make a difference and it does not. Any thoughts or ideas would be appreci

If you have not already done so, I would check at the fuse or circuit breaker panel to see if you have blown a fuse or tripped a breaker. ...

How does the Miele Vacuum Power Nozzle Pinion Gear get taken off and a new one put on? Is it pressed on and just need to pull off or is it screwed off. It is for the SEB217 power head

Greetings,\015\012\015\012What you need to do is screw the Pinion Gear off of the power brush. This can sometimes be tricking, because as I'm sure you're aware, when you twist the pinion gear to try and release it, it also spins the mot ...

We bought a new cord winder for our Electrolux 1205 Canister Vacuum cleaner and we are trying to install it is not turning on. We get it all connected but it doesn't turn on. Is there a reset button or some advise you can give me to get it working? I used a voltage detector to see if there was power running through the cord winder and there is.

Did you put a bag in the vacuum?\015\012I suspect there's an improper wire connection somewhere, but there are other things that could cause this I strongly recommend taking it to an authorized Aerus Electrolux dealer and letting a trained tec ...
